Amine M.’s Response to the Homophobic Outlook Article

I think that people such as Mohamad Sibai who at first confuse secularism with sexual freedom and personal rights, are ignorant.

What Mohamad doesn’t seem to understand is that many people feel the same way he felt when he saw the gay couple, but towards a straight couple holding hands. If a man and a woman were in modern cloths and holding hands in let’s say Tehran, a man just like Mohamad could pass by and be HORRIFIED by this act and possibly ignorantly blame secularism or go to such extremes as accusing the woman of sexual addiction and perhaps finally this man would post online a story about how some women would willingly become prostitutes because of their sex addiction.
In general, we should all feel sorry for people like Mohamad Sibai, whether they oppose gay couples or women’s rights, or believe that women driving in Saudi could bring an end to the values and culture.
